OURY-GUYÉ is a century-old company that designs and manufactures high-precision surgical instruments for orthopedics and the spine. OURY-GUYÉ is a member of the French Fab and has been awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (E.P.V.) label. Its customers include the largest orthopedic groups in France and beyond.

This transaction marks a new stage for the company founded in 1909. With the support of its new shareholders, OURY-GUYÉ’s main objective will be to create a center of excellence for orthopedic and spinal instrumentation in France.

Christian Oury, Chairman of OURY-GUYÉ, commented: “This acquisition is a natural extension of our desire to continue to offer our customers a solid partnership. It comes at an important time for our company, when it is essential for its future to unite and perform: OURY-GUYÉ’s DNA. I have every confidence in the ability of the new shareholders to pursue and succeed in this ambitious project.”

Georges-Alexandre Ancenys, Managing Partner at TAG Partners, commented: “We are delighted to support the development of OURY-GUYÉ, a century-old company with solid commercial expertise, so that it can respond even more effectively to the needs of its customers. This will be achieved by increasing the volume of existing products and offering a more complete range, thanks to the acquisition of complementary know-how in a market that is still highly fragmented. We are pleased and honored to join forces with Christian Oury, a strengthened management team, and all our employees to write together this new chapter in OURY-GUYÉ’s history.”

The investment in OURY-GUYÉ is emblematic of TAG Partners’ (formerly SPE Capital Europe) small-cap initiative, as it involves (i) a primary transaction, alongside a strengthened management team, to accelerate the company’s development; (ii) a high-growth, highly fragmented sector offering opportunities for external growth to broaden the product portfolio; and (iii) an ambitious transformation and growth project, notably through the modernization of its industrial facilities, the digitalization of its operations and the strengthening of its management team.
